"我们因为一种绝望的感觉而拼命工作,有点像是绝望。通过那种绝望,我们变得上瘾。但我们觉得我们没有什么可失去的,所以我们为你提供,嗯,我们提供我们的生命。你能带来什么?"

Simplified Meaning:

When people feel desperate and hopeless, they often work extremely hard because they see no other choice. This intense desperation can make them very focused and driven, almost like an addiction, because they believe they have nothing left to lose. They end up putting everything on the line, including their time and energy, because they think they have no other options. For example, imagine someone who has lost their job and is struggling to pay bills. They might start working two or three jobs, doing whatever it takes to survive. They push themselves beyond their limits because they feel they have no other way out. In this state, they put everything they have into their work, even their health and well-being. When people are willing to give so much, they might ask others what they can contribute in return. It’s like saying, "We are giving our all—what can you offer to match our effort?" This highlights the value of their hard work and challenges others to step up and contribute as well.
